Squeezed in between Fuhgidabowdit Pizzeria and Yakety Yak, a wireless superstore, on University Boulevard, is the fresh and forthcoming restaurant addition to the expanding DU dining scene – Greeks Gone Wild.

Greeks Gone Wild plans its debut in the next three weeks remediless add the last touches to the interior and the chef starts cooking savory goodies in the brand new kitchen as soon as it passes city inspection.

Greeks Gone Wild hopes “to bring a different feel to the local dining scene,” said manager Constantine Anest, by providing an array of Greek traditional dishes as well the Greek take on chicken wings.

Greek columns adorn the interior to let diners know what to expect. The seating area will accommodate 50 diners.

“We are going to try to work with DU for promotion, catering and targeting college kids,” said owner, Pete Kallas.

The Greek theme for the restaurant was chosen after considering the other restaurants in the area and deciding that customers should have a new flavor on their menu, Kallas said.

“Combine all the features of the restaurants in the area and you get our restaurant,” said Kallas. “We are going to play cool, funky music. The restaurant will be a clean, hip and fun place to hang out.”

Greeks Gone Wild will be open late, all day and year round, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Restaurant hours will be set to suit the late-night routine of college students. From Sunday to Wednesday, doors will be open at 8 a.m. and stay open until midnight, while Thursday through Saturday the closing time will be 3 a.m.

“Organizing things are still in the works,” said Anest. “We do want to offer take-out. These details will be worked out over the next couple of weeks.”

Menu options include Greek specialties such as gyros, calamari and souvlakia, which is a chicken kabob.

“We want to provide quality Greek food at a cheaper price,” Anest said.

The menu will specialize in chicken wings, but will also offer Mexican food and a selection of sandwiches such as hot cheeseburgers.

Breakfast sandwiches will be available and set at a reasonable price.

Discount nights with themes such as “girls night” are currently under discussion and a special consideration is being given for DU students and various DU student organizations.

The restaurant did attempt to coordinate the use of Flex cash with DU, but DU is not currently accepting any more merchants for the Flex cash plan.
